Let me get this right. Sneaker companies are owned by white guys, who make yellow kids make shoes that make black people go nuts. Is that about it?The yellow kids work in sweatshops, for peanuts to earn enough to buy some rice and some chicken.The black guys beg, borrow, steal, or work in crappy jobs just to earn enough for a pair of "Magic Shoes" endorsed by a black sneaker pimp.The white guys make millions.

Sneakerheads piss me off to no end because they could care less about BttF or Paranorman (as in the article), but will buy a shoe cause "IT LOOKS MAD SICK YO" so the actual fans of themed shoes and people who would actually WEAR them never end up with them.
